@nightinggale6470
@nightinggale6470 2 жыл бұрын
Just letting you know: ceramic heat emitters aren’t the best primary heat source. A halogen flood bulb connected to a dimmer/dimming thermostat is the most natural and beneficial option during the day, Arcadia’s deep heat projector is the second best option. They produce infrared A and B like the sun, heat that penetrates deep into the skin tissue and heats them far more effectively than CHEs. Whereas CHEs only produce IRC, which only heats the surface of their skin. CHEs are good for nighttime heat, though.

I used the water dispenser thing (not that one, an old one I already had) for when I was leaving my leopard gecko for a bit on vacation. It's useful for that when you know nobody that can come to refill the water. It prevents evaporation and I could tie it up to also prevent spilling (because my gecko was a water bowl spiller)

I was certainly wondering about those repti-reservoirs. My cat had a bowl like that and he loved it (normally he wouldn’t drink anything out of a bowl, that actually got him to drink out of more than the toilet or bathtub). Buuuut a cat is not a lizard. (Well, they have fur, but they sure act like one sometimes, but I digress…) I thought about the same for “useful if we go on vacation?” but it’s extremely easy to just put in a bigger bowl or get a friend to stop by and fill the dish.

For the second item, I'm training my reptiles to drink from water dispensers for small mammals. My bearded dragons will only respond to drips on their noses and mouths so it's much better for them to get water from one of those. Although I still put bowls in too for humidity and bathing options, quite often the feeders end up in the water and drown getting left uneaten and they get crapped in so they're not that great in general. And if those things happen, It means cleaner water is still there to drink.

Climbing enrichment (cork, branches, rocks, plants, ledges, background, etc.), digging/burrowing enrichment, feeding enrichment, sensory enrichment (eg. leaf litter), etc. Feeding enrichment can include varying the feeders you use, where you feed (different spots in the enclosure), how you present the food, etc. Also the provision of UVB and a heat source that produces near infrared, such as a halogen bulb.

I wish I could find those glazed terracotta pots! All of my stores seemed to have the regular ones. So I have resorted to expensive ceramic dishes that are adorable solely for my enjoyment 🤣

The auto-waterer might be DECENT, if you added some rocks to it, to make sure anything small enough to actually use it, doesnt drown. but then it just becomes a cleaning issue. Although it might be somewhat useful if you are having issues with low humidity, adding rocks, and maybe some moss, to help keep your tank more humid for your tropical critters. Hide behind some fake plants or something. 12.99 is about 7 bucks cheaper than the humidity keeper options i have seen in most pet stores. but you can get the same effect with some concrete poured over a shallow dog or cat dish, with rocks glued to the edges to make it more natural looking.

Something I just don’t get is when people from other countries say that they have to “add the tax”. In Australia tax is already included in the labeled price so that we know exactly how much we are paying.

Video idea - keeping your reptiles comfortable in a multi day power outrage no generator. Picked some escape proof mealworm bowls @ 1.91 usd each, they escape! so i picked up some ramekin bowls @ 0.64 usd each mealworms stay in. Take care from south africa!

Ceramic Heat Emitters are great main heaters, though halogen and DHPs are superior for your reptile, due to CHEs not emitting light, using MUCH less energy than dhps and halogens, and last a lot longer, I'd say they're a very decent choice..

For the "this water dispenser is good for hermit crabs" the answer is NO!!! I have been keeping hermit crabs for over years and that would be HORRIBLE in so many ways, hermies need much deeper fresh and salt water bowls, they would knock that thing over VERY quick you need to replace water daily, and you need raised bowls so they don't burry the dishes over night

One thing about the feeding rock, while it shouldn’t be used for every feeding, it could be used for enrichment for nocturnal species, but buying enrichment I don’t think there’s much yse for it
